Kinematic Model and Workspace Analysis of Tendon-driven Continuum Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Continuum robots have excited increasing attention and effort from robotic community due to their high dexterity and safety. This paper designs a continuum robot equipped with an elastic backbone structure and tendon-driven system. The kinematic model of such robot is formulated and a novel approach to analyze the workspace is developed by identifying the interference between the backbone structure and the actuated tendons. An optimization function is then used to achieve appropriate compromise between the workspace and the internal space of the robot, which provides an evaluation criterion for the robot design.

Design and Analysis of a Novel Tendon-less Backbone Robot
A new type of backbone robot is presented in this paper. The core idea is to use a cross shape mechanism with the principle of functioning of the scissors linkages, known as a pantograph. Although this continuum arm acts quite similar to tendon-driven robot, this manipulator does not include any tendon in its structure. This design does not suffer from the weaknesses of the continuum design suc...
متن کاملInterval Analysis of Controllable Workspace for Cable Robots
Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. However, the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

متن کاملOn the Kinematics of Remotely-Actuated Continuum Robots
Over the past several years, there has been a rapidly expanding interest in the the study and construction o,f a new class of robot manipulators which utilize high degree of freedom, or continuous, backbone structures. I n this paper, we consider and illustrate some basic properties of a class of “hyper-redundant” robots, known as “continuum” robots. W e base our analysis around remotely-driven...
